Different judges have different opinions but generally 8+ years is when judges start looking at maintenance awards. Judges increasingly are loathe to give long-term maintenance awards except in cases when spouses objectively gave up careers to support their working spouses.

If the settlement is with the estate of your deceased son, then the funds would be distributed to his heirs. If the settlement was (partially at least) with the son's father for his loss as a father, then the money would go to him. The settlement might be split between the two of them.

There was recent Supreme Court case law on this question, I believe. You would realistically need an attorney to help you do the research and make the argument. Hire an attorney ASAP to help you.

I agree with the other response. Often judges will want to know that there was an excusable reason you didn't do whatever you should have done to avoid a judgment AND that if the court lets you reopen the case there is some good reason to think the case would turn out differently.

You have rights and responsibilities if you are a parent, yes. You will very likely be able to establish some kind of a parenting relationship with the child sooner than later unless there are good reasons a court might not allow a parent to have contact with his/her child. You will probably be required to submit to the Wisconsin child support guidelines for the child based on whatever placement schedule the court adopts and you will be financially and morally responsible for the upbringing of the child to some extent. The court will have no way to take advantage of you except if you mean that in the sense that you might not like the placement schedule adopted by the court and corresponding child support order. Getting an attorney might be a good idea here. Family law, especially regarding placement of kids and child support, is an emotionally fraught area of law and having someone guide you through the process, advocate for for you, and help you keep perspective is usually very valuable.
